Partner With Us to
Bring Solar to Rural Malaysia

A proposed rural solar electrification programme for CSR partners. It is at the planning stage: no village projects have been delivered yet, and any project would be scoped with you and delivered with local partners.

The Energy Poverty Challenge

Thousands of Malaysians Still Live Without Power

Despite Malaysia's rapid development, significant energy poverty persists in rural and indigenous communities.

Orang Asli
Orang Asli Settlements

Peninsular Malaysia communities without reliable grid electricity, relying on expensive diesel generators or kerosene lamps.

East Malaysia
Interior Communities

Sabah and Sarawak interior villages that remain off-grid, where diesel costs more than in the Peninsula because of transport.

Diesel
Monthly Diesel Cost

Running a diesel generator is a heavy recurring cost for households in off-grid communities on subsistence-level incomes.

How It Would Work

The Partnership Model

How we intend a partnership to run. Scope, budget and reporting would be agreed in writing for each project.

STEP 01

Agree the Scope

A bank, GLC or foundation discusses goals, region and budget with us. Nothing is committed until a written agreement is in place.

STEP 02

Joint Feasibility

We would assess the site with local partners and the relevant agencies before any design or price is proposed.

STEP 03

Delivery With Partners

If the project goes ahead, installation would be carried out with local partners, on a timeline set in the agreement.

STEP 04

Agreed Reporting

Monitoring and impact reporting would be agreed per project, for use in your own ESG disclosures.

What the Programme Aims to Offer

What We Are Designing For

Intended for financial institutions and corporate foundations with ESG reporting needs. These are design goals, not delivered results.

Climate & Sustainability Reporting

Intended to support your climate-risk and sustainability reporting. Whether it meets a specific BNM requirement is for your compliance team to confirm.

Tax Treatment

Tax treatment depends on how a contribution is structured and who receives it. Please consult your tax adviser; we make no tax-deduction claim.

Learning From Others

Banks and foundations have funded rural solar and community programmes (examples below). Those are their programmes, not Trexon projects.

Delivered With Partners

Projects would be delivered with local partners, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, under a written scope.

Measurable Impact

Impact metrics such as households served, kWh generated and CO2 avoided would be agreed per project.

Recognition

Signage and communications would be agreed with each sponsor and community.

SDG Alignment

The Cahaya Kampung programme is intended to contribute to four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

1
No Poverty
7
Affordable & Clean Energy

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything your CSR team needs to know before committing to a partnership.

Is this CSR expenditure tax deductible?

We make no tax-deduction claim. Whether a contribution is deductible depends on how it is structured and whether the recipient is an approved body. Please consult your tax adviser.

How long does one village project take from agreement to completion?

There is no standard timeline yet. Timing would be set in each project agreement, after a site feasibility study with local partners.

How are villages selected? Can we choose the location?

You can suggest a preferred region (state or district). Communities would be identified with local partners and the relevant agencies, and need and readiness confirmed before any commitment.

How is the system monitored after handover?

Monitoring and reporting would be agreed per project; the equipment chosen determines what data is available.

Can we brand the installation with our bank/foundation name?

Signage and communications would be agreed with each sponsor and community as part of the project agreement.

What is the minimum commitment?

No packages or prices are published. Scope and budget would be set per project after a feasibility study.

What happens if equipment fails after the project?

Warranty and maintenance terms would be set out in each project agreement, based on the equipment chosen and the local partners involved.

How does the ESG reporting work for Bursa disclosure?

The reporting format would be agreed per project so it can feed into your own sustainability report. We do not provide assurance.
